Free license plate recognition software for Windows.
Plate recognition usually costs extra — per camera, per plate or per month. In VISEC it is built in and included in every license, even the free one-camera license.
What it does
VISEC reads number plates at over 100 kph (60 mph) in more than 80% of the world's countries, logs every plate with the time and a picture, lets you search the log, and can alert on plates — including vehicles with no readable plate. With the access control module, a known plate can open a gate. Full details.
Getting good reads
- AngleAim so the plate is as straight-on as possible; steep angles lose characters.
- SizeA narrow view of the lane beats a wide view of the whole yard.
- ShutterA fast shutter stops motion blur, especially at night.
- GPUAn Nvidia card with 4 GB speeds up recognition; without one VISEC uses the processor.
Quick answers.
Is there free license plate recognition software?
Yes. VISEC includes plate recognition in its free 1-camera license, with no per-plate fee.
Do I need a special LPR camera?
No — a normal IP camera works if it is aimed well. Dedicated LPR cameras help at high speed and at night.
What is the difference between LPR and ANPR?
Nothing: LPR (license plate recognition) and ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) are two names for the same thing.
